Tribeca Film Festival: It's a Wrap

The competition element of the Tribeca Film Festival concluded Thursday evening with a glitzy awards ceremony at the Conrad New York hotel in Battery Park City, hosted by Conrad Hotels & Resorts.

While the talk amongst the jurors—mostly actors and filmmakers—was about how grueling the process was of cramming so many films into a little over a week (for short films especially: they had to watch 38 movies), most loved the experience.

"I'm so honored to be a part of the storytelling," said Bryce Dallas Howard. "It's been a really creative week." She admitted she also enjoyed the nostalgia of retracing her steps as a student. "Getting to be around my old NYU stomping ground was great, as well as eating the food I ate 10 years ago."

"There are so many talented people out there," shared Christine Baranski, who was wearing a neoprene dress by Cynthia Rowley. "It never wrinkles, and you feel like a Barbie doll because it just has a look to it," she said of said frock.

Mira Sorvino packed her week with films, parties, and dinners out, despite traveling with her 11-month-old daughter. And, she added, "I went to Anthropologie in the Chelsea Market for a quick stolen moment to get a pair of jeans."

"That is kind of stunning," she admitted. "You bring your baby out and say 'Isn't my baby cute?' People say, 'Oh yeah, the baby's cute,' but you know the baby looks like a dog. We brought the baby out, and they told us we've got a cute baby."

Director Paul Haggis admitted the great luxury of the week was simply watching 12 films. "I haven't had the chance to watch 12 films over two weeks in years," he said. "I could have sat through more of this stuff. I was so annoyed that they were all good." His movie snack of choice could have had something to do with it. "I like popcorn with peanut M&Ms," he admitted. "The sweet and salty."

Jurors Radha Mitchell and Ari Graynor had different sweet and salty snacking plans. "Sometimes I sneak in sushi," to movies Mitchell said.

While Graynor is simple. "I have wicked sweet tooth. Sometimes it's a Junior Mint, sometimes it's a Swedish Fish. I like sweets."
